Training Options – Fall 2017

School has started again and with that, our ISSA year begins with a great talk about hacking a hackathon, next week. If you haven’t signed up for that, I highly encourage you to do so. With fall around the corner, that also means James and my CISSP preparation course at PCC starts soon, so get signed up for that. There are many other items coming up and hopefully I can touch on those here.

If you are taking our CISSP course, or you want to study on your own, the official ISC2 CISSP study guide is provided to ISSA members at a 50% discount! This is the book we use in the course and the official ISC2 study guide. Contact Ashley Edwards at Wiley to receive the discounted price: aedwards@wiley.com. Promo Code: CSP50

SANS has an upcoming SEC401: Security Essentials bootcamp coming to Portland in November. I am teaching this one! It will be awesome. Get signed up for this early.
